Poker King – the movie

Poker King is a new poker movie filmed and based in Macao, China. The poker movie is starring top Chinese actors Louis Koo, Sean Lau Ching-Wan. I’m really excited about the see Poker King. Not only because It’s a poker movie, but also I´m a fan of Asian movies. The story is about two poker playing rivals who compete in tournaments for championship glory.

Check out the trailer here:

Singapore Poker

I love Singapore. It is a a great city with a lot of fun activities and interesting people. So it´s with great interest that  I have a my eyes on the growing poker community in Singapore. Actually not only poker in Singapore but the rest of South East Asia. But I think that Singapore have a leading roll of getting the poker community to grow in Asia, next to Macau.

Singapore Poker Community
One of the biggest, if not the biggest forums for poker players in Singapore and South East Asia is PokerKaki poker community. PokerKaki is a platform where poker enthusiasts in Asia gather for news, discussions and meetups. So if you are really interested in poker in Asia, the Singapore poker community is the place to go. Check out the poker community – Poker in Singapore.

Singapore Poker Interview

About a year ago, I made an interview with owner of Poker Kaki, Chris Ow, about his thoughts about poker in Singapore and Asia. A really interesting interview, which can be read in full here (Poker In Singapore and Asia). At the time the 2 year old poker community had grown to 900 members strong. But I´m sure that the membership on the Singaporean poker community has grown  much stronger up to date.

Asian Poker Magazine – Baller Magazine
Just recently a new poker magazine open it´s doors for the Asian and Pacific poker market. The poker magazine has its focus on the Asian poker community. Baller Magazine describe themselves centered to the edgy, glamorous lifestyle aspect of poker. I´m really hoping that the poker magazine will hit big and spread around Asia.

Visiting Singapore and Asia
I would really love to visit Singapore soon again. And maybe have the chance to meet up with some of the people in the Singapore poker community and people who are trying to make the poker game much more appreciated in Singapore and Asia. Would love to discuss how we can make it grow and make it more fun and reachable for everyone. But next on my schedule after going back to Malta is the CAP meeting in London in late January. After that? Well, lets see.

Achieving dreams

I remember when I started my first Swedish poker blog. It was about poker and about achieving my dreams. One of those dreams was to be able to live and travel in Thailand and South East Asia. And I think my writing down my goals and my journey, I was able to accomplish many of my dreams.

Now looking back on the road that I´ve been walking the last three years, I can see that I accomplished a lot of those things that I was set-up to do. However I haven´t really found the balance for it all. There are still things that I can improve. Or correction… there are many things I would like to improve. Yes. I have been very lucky and had a lot of fun during my travels. But it would be much more rewarding if I could have some balance to it all.

So I´m hoping that this blog will help to achieve a balance and successful road down the new path that I´m walking
